It’s been a while since we’ve gotten together and in honor of the #Phillips1stAnnualDayParty I decided to create some tasty snacks for the group.

With so many national food days, it’s hard to keep up and avoid gaining 30 pounds. I was so excited to see that National Cheesecake Day is coming up this Saturday because I love cheesecake!
